Dense!

[Willa · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best way into the colossal Process and Reality. The build up is very logical and it is a surprisingly good read. This book predigests the whole of P&R and stirs you curiousity to read more.

[Sophie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Incredibly clear and simple, you can use it as a very good introduction to Process & Reality by reading it front to back! It's amazing that a book so short can deliver so much without feeling overwhelming. It can sometimes be dense, you probably won't read it in one shot and it is certainly not the way to go. Take your time to digest everything because it really is worth it.
